Divorced and Dominant Now You Cry novel Chapter 321

Jane had completely lost her cool. There was only one reason why she married Kenneth and had a son. It was to get her hands on Beldon Group.

If Sheila ended up inheriting the family fortune instead, then she would’ve done everything for nothing!

“So what you’re saying is you’d rather let Mr. Beldon die instead?” Ashton piped up with a sneer. “The inheritance that you and your son can receive is worth more than his life?”

Since Sheila was about to become his woman, he would help her take control of the Beldon family. It would benefit him anyway.

“I…”

Realizing that she’d misspoken, Jane quickly said, “That’s not what I meant, honey. I—‘

“Shut up!” Kenneth barked, his face pale.

He only hesitated for a moment before agreeing to the condition.

“Alright. I’ll do it. As long as you clear out the malevolent energy from my body, I’ll transfer 50 percent of Beldon Group’s shares to Shelly and let her inherit the company while I retire. Now what’s your second condition?” he urged.

Nothing mattered more than his life!

Under these circumstances, even if Ashton asked for the entire company, he’d have no choice but to agree, much less simply transfer 50 percent of the shares to Sheila.

As for what happened later on… he would cross that bridge when he came to it.

“Secondly, I want Jane and Bradley to apologize to Sheila and me. I want them to kneel and admit they were wrong,” Ashton said curtly.

Sheila was his woman. There was no way he would let her be bullied.

After hearing those conditions, Sheila stared at Ashton in a daze, her eyes growing wet. This was the first time in her life a man had ever stood up for her like that.

Having grown up with a stepmother, Sheila had learned to be arrogant and to develop a sharp tongue, but deep down, she had a fragile soul. She desperately wanted someone who could protect her. It was why she’d made that bet with Natalie in the first place…

Sheila had completely fallen for Ashton now. She no longer felt reluctant to be with him.

“How dare some guy off the streets expect me to kneel and apologize to him? In your dreams! That’s never going to happen!” Bradley roared.

Jane clenched her fists and looked pitifully at Kenneth. “Honey, I-

“Kneel! Do exactly as Mr. Gray says. Now!” Kenneth exploded. “If anyone refuses, I’ll give my final will and testament now to have that person driven out of the family. They won’t receive even a single penny!”

“Dad-”

Bradley still wanted to object, but Jane gritted her teeth and yanked him down with her. The two fell to their knees, humiliated as they bowed their heads and said, “We were wrong. We made a mistake!”

Their bodies trembled as they bowed low.

After looking down at them, Ashton wiped the tears from Sheila’s eyes and smiled. “My woman must never cry. So? Feel better now?”

“Yeah. Thank you, Ashton!” Sheila was moved.

Smirking, he whispered into her ear, “You can thank me properly in bed later.”

“Why, you…”

Sheila turned red. He was such a perv.

“Hurry up and save my dad…”

Ashton nodded before walking up to Kenneth. Dark flames flickered in his eyes as he swiftly located the flow of the malevolent energy within Kenneth’s meridians.

“Mom, what should we do?” Bradley growled in resentment.

Scowling, she retorted, “Hah! I doubt a punk like him can save that old fart. Once he fails, I’ll have him and that bitch Sheila ripped to pieces!”

At the very next moment, Ashton flicked his sleeve. 12 silver needles shot out, stabbing into 12 of Kenneth’s critical acupoints.

“Close!” he said sharply.

Using the Ninefold Arcane Technique, he forcefully suppressed the malevolent energy in Kenneth’s body, sealing it off into a single area.

“The Ninefold Arcane Technique…” Nadine gaped, her initial indifference vanishing, only to be replaced by fervent awe.

She made up her mind to make Ashton her mentor!
